Johan Boskamp, ​​1978

Johan "Jan" Boskamp (born October 21, 1948 in Rotterdam ) is a Dutch football coach and former national player . As a player, he became Dutch champions with Feijenoord Rotterdam and Belgian champions with RWD Molenbeek ; with the Dutch national team he was runner- up in 1978 . As coach of RSC Anderlecht he was three times Belgian champion and one cup winner; with Dinamo Tbilisi he also won a championship title in Georgia .

Club career

The midfielder came from the youth of the HOV ( Hoop op Vooruitgang ) from the Crooswijk district of Rotterdam . In 1965 he became a member of Feijenoord , made his first-team debut in a 3-0 win over GVAV on November 20, 1966 and had two appearances in the trade fair cup in the 1968/69 season . In the same season he was loaned to Holland Sport from June 1, 1969 . For the 1970/71 season he returned to Feijenoord. It was not easy for him to gain a regular place in his position in right midfield, as this place was occupied by international Wim Jansen . With the defending champion , he made a game in the European Cup this season , and he became Dutch champions. In the following season he was used three times in the European Cup . From 1970 to 1974 he made 76 Eredivisie games for Rotterdam, scoring 14 goals.

He then went to the Belgian First Division at RWD Molenbeek , where he played a total of eight years. In his first season in Brussels he became champion with the RWDM in 1975 and played again in the European Cup . Boskamp was the first foreigner to be awarded the “Golden Shoe” for the best player of the season in the RWDM championship year. From 1982 he ended his active career with two seasons for Lierse SK ; his last professional match was a 2-2 draw in the first class match against RFC Seraing .

National team

As early as 1967 Boskamp played in the youth national team (U-18). During his time at RWD Moolenbeek, he was appointed to the senior national team for the first time. On April 5, 1978, he made his Oranje debut at a friendly in Tunis ; in the 4-0 win against Tunisia , he came on in the 65th minute for Willy van de Kerkhof . It was one of the last screening games before the World Cup in Argentina . Bond coach Ernst Happel was looking for additional players for the tournament; Boskamp was one of five debutants in this match: next to him there were Arnold Mühren , Dick Nanninga , Pierre Vermeulen and Piet Wildschut . Three of them made it into the World Cup squad .

Boskamp received the heavy burden of inheriting Johan Cruijff's shirt number 14 in Argentina . His only appearance in Argentina was on June 11 in the last group game against Scotland , which the Dutch lost 3-2 in Mendoza . Boskamp came on after ten minutes for Johan Neeskens , who sustained a rib injury in a duel with Archie Gemmill . Boskamp was "by no means as busy a midfielder as Neeskens and he would not remember this game as the high point of his career," writes Steve Burns on his website for the game. After the defeat, Happel exchanged some players again for the second round against Austria ; one of the victims was Boskamp. For the now almost 30-year-old, this meant that his second appearance in the Elftal against Scotland was also his last international match.

Trainer

At Lierse SK Boskamp was after his time as a player in the 1984/85 season to coach, but rose with the team in 1986 as bottom of the table in the Tweede class . In 1988 he worked at Verbroedering Denderhoutem . In 1989 he took over the post of trainer at KSK Beveren , with whom he was also relegated to the second division in 1990, but in 1991, when he was first in the table, he managed to gain direct promotion. For the 1992/93 season he moved to KV Kortrijk , but stayed there only half a year to take over the coaching position at RSC Anderlecht as the successor to the dismissed Luka Peruzović during the winter break . With the couple swits he was Belgian champion three times in a row; In 1994 the team celebrated the double . In 1993/94 and 1994/95 the RSC also reached the group stage of the Champions League . In 1995 he had already left Anderlecht when he was asked to replace the hapless Herbert Neumann in September; before that, Raymond Goethals , who had returned as sports director since 1993, stepped in at short notice as interim trainer. Boskamp stayed for another two years and moved to AA Gent in 1997 , where he was released in October 1998.

In April 1999 he went to Georgia , where he was in charge of Dinamo Tbilisi and the national team until the end of the year , including in several European qualifying matches . His view of discipline, however, was above all incompatible with that of the stars playing abroad; the team finished last in qualifying and in December 1999 Boskamp had to leave. In the 2000/01 season he was again a brief guest appearance in Belgium at KRC Genk , until December 2000 as a coach, the rest of the season as a manager. An engagement with Al-Wasl in the United Arab Emirates , from which he was released in November 2002, was followed in the 2004/05 season by looking after the Kuwaiti club Kazma Sporting and the national team of the Gulf state .

For the 2005/06 season signed Stoke City Boskamp - and his assistant Jan de Koning - as the successor to the dismissed Tony Pulis . When he bought Sambégou Bangoura for around one million pounds at the English second division, he set a new club record and signed the Belgian international Carl Hoefkens , who received the “Fans' Player of the Year Award” after the 2005/06 season. Despite the new players, the team's performance remained volatile, and so in the end only a midfielder jumped out in the Football League Championship . The season was also overshadowed by a feud between Boskamp and football director John Rudge , which ultimately led to Boskamp's abandonment.

For the 2006/07 season he was coach at Standard Liège . After an unsatisfactory start to the season (the team only got two out of twelve possible points and Liège missed qualifying for the Champions League ), he was dismissed on August 30, 2006, and Michel Preud'homme took over. At the end of November 2007 he returned to FCV Dender EH , the successor to his second club as a coach and in 2007 promoted to the first Belgian league, with which he ended the championship series in 15th place in 2008. In Belgium he gained further fame in 2008 through the television series FC Nerds . In the series he had to bring a team of amateur players within seven weeks from April 2008 so far that they should survive in a game against ex-national players. The game took place on May 21, 2008; the amateurs trained by Boskamp lost 3: 5. On May 19, 2009, Dender and Boskamp ended their contractual relationship after a dispute between Boskamp and Kotrainer Patrick Asselman. Ten days later his change to his "old love" Beveren became known, with whom he signed a contract for three years.
